The book is an overview of the various, often contradicting concepts comprising institutional economics. As the author mentions in the introduction: "the aim of the publication is to familiarize readers with this rapidly developing field of economics as well as with a critical and cognitive assessment of its achievements". A prof. Ryszard Kata, peer reviewer of Bentkowska's monograph notes, "the book fills a certain gap in Polish literature". It is another publication on institutional economics following prof. Jerzy Wilkin (2016) and dr. hab. Zbigniew Staniek (2017). While reading Bentkowska's book, I was looking to answer the question: do we really need another book on institutional economics? (...) The book Institutional economics: an outline of the theory and its practical dimensions is a cross-sectional publication that can successfully fulfill the role of an academic textbook. It offers well-structured and condensed information about institutions, which the author presents from both an economic (market) and universal perspective. Due to the fact that this book is based on a thorough literature review, it can be the first point of contact or a guide to institutionalism. (fragment of text)
